He took a bus for a short distance, then he walked. Along the way, he met Sidney Rather Nottingham who was also walking to Wizard School. Luckily, one of them knew the way. Otherwise they would have been lost.

The Seattle-Tacoma International Airport (SEA) or Seatac is one of my favorite airports. I'll reveal the secrets about what makes it so great in this book. These are secrets I've gleaned from my many trips through the airport and from doing some additional research. Seattle is a prime West Coast destination.

Most of us see the world as a mess of problems. There’s global warming, or more politically correct, global climate change, or more technically correct, comprehensive climate chaos.

For every problem, there are a myriad of solutions. Quite often, you only need to discover one. The purpose of Solutions Galore is to present methods to solve problems.

Welcome to The School of Godology. Whereas theology schools focus on religion, The School of Godology focuses on God. This course - God 101 - is a course on what/who God is. This course discusses different aspects of God to give you a general idea of what/who God is. God 101 is a pass/fail course. In order to pass, you must consider all of the information presented and present a paper discussing what/who God might be, ending with the conclusion that nobody really knows what/who God is. Any person (angels excluded) concluding that they know what/who God is will fail.

This year was an off year for apples. At least it was in my yard. Others in my neighborhood reported a record year as far as the number of apples on their trees goes. However, my trees only really invest in producing apples every other year. And this year they were saving their energy to reach for the sun. In 2017, I wrote Strawberry Cheesecake Applesauce. That treat always makes me drool. This year I’m writing Chocolate Covered Cherries Applesauce, which is another treat that will make you be rude and salivate.

The Dancer is a simple story of a young woman in love, a young woman who is trying to find out who she is. While the story is simple, the manner in which it unfolds is anything but. And sometimes, the ride is so wild, it has everyone, including the author, hanging on to their seats.

What would happen if all the Citizens in the US escaped to a better life, one where they were not under constant surveillance, one where their lives became more meaningful? What if a non-citizen were to become a US President? Those are some of the events which happened in the 21st century. This is as much of the story as I could piece together, Senior Presidente.

All the names are very long. Children will be amused as they or adults try to listen and mimic the names without getting their tongues tied.

Ducker went through life snapping his toes. I suspect you think that that sounds a bit gross and it might be a bit painful. And you’re also under that impression that that might be just a little bit too much information. Perhaps it’s something which you’d rather not know. And since Ducker really liked to snap his toes. And since snapping one’s toes is very difficult to do while wearing shoes and/or socks, Ducker had a great disdain for wearing either shoes or socks.

An electric car is often referred to as an electric vehicle or EV. In Select Your Electric Car, I explore the various options of EVs available in the United States. If you live in California or in one of the other states which have similar zero emission vehicle standards, you will have more choices. These states have laws that car companies selling cars in their state must provide a certain percentage of EVs. I am going to focus on the EVs which are widely available in the US now (2018).

This book is not about chemical elements. I’m going to offer my apologies for that up front, as I know that might be disappointing to a few of you. Rather, this book is about the basic elements which make up the Earth, which make up each of us, which make up everything. These Elements go by various names depending on which element theory you reference. I’ll explain that later on in this book. Then I’ll use a standard naming convention for each of these Elements. This book is about the elements of earth, water, fire, spirit, and sky. It is also about the elements love and life.
